A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Experience the Yakima Valley Wine Country at Treveri Cellars
You can’t visit the Yakima Valley without diving into its world-class wine scene. The valley is home to more than 17,000 acres of vineyards, and touring them with a private bus rental is the safest and most convenient way to taste your way through the region. One absolute must-visit is Treveri Cellars, a family-owned sparkling wine house that produces some of the finest bubbly in the Pacific Northwest. A charter bus rental allows your group to enjoy tastings without the worry of driving, providing a built-in designated driver for your entire itinerary.
Your group can relax on the outdoor patio with views of the Cascade Mountains while sipping on sparkling Syrah or Gewürztraminer. With a bus rental, you have plenty of undercarriage storage for cases of wine you purchase to take home. We can easily shuttle your wedding party here for a pre-wedding toast or bring your corporate team for a celebratory afternoon. The venue is group-friendly, but having a bus means you get dropped off right at the entrance without navigating the gravel lots with multiple vehicles.
Treveri Cellars 71 Gangl Rd, Wapato, WA 98951
Relax at the Yakima Area Arboretum
If your group is looking for a serene escape or a beautiful location for a picnic, the Yakima Area Arboretum is a jewel within the city. Spanning 46 acres, this "living museum" features over 1,000 specimens of trees, display gardens, and natural areas. It is a fantastic destination for senior citizen tour groups, school field trips, or family reunions looking for a centralized gathering spot. With a minibus or charter bus, you can easily transport picnic coolers, folding chairs, and outdoor games in the luggage bays, leaving the cabin clutter-free for your passengers.
The Arboretum features the Jewett Interpretive Center and a beautiful Japanese Garden that is perfect for group photos. Parking can be tight during peak bloom seasons or special events like the Luminaria, but with a charter bus, your driver can drop your group off at the main gate and park in the designated overflow areas, saving your attendees from a long walk. It is the perfect spot to stretch your legs and enjoy the sunshine that Yakima is famous for.

Explore History at the Yakima Valley Museum
For educational groups, history buffs, and anyone interested in the roots of the region, the Yakima Valley Museum offers a deep dive into the local culture. The museum features extensive exhibits on the Yakama Nation, the region’s agricultural boom, and the geological history of the valley. One of the most popular draws for groups is the meticulously restored soda fountain, where you can treat your group to ice cream after the tour. Booking a charter bus for your school trip or private tour ensures that everyone arrives together for scheduled docent-led tours.
The museum also houses a fascinating collection of horse-drawn vehicles and a neon sign garden that lights up the history of local businesses. Navigating the museum district is easy with a driver. We can coordinate drop-offs at the Franklin Park entrance and pick you up after you’ve finished exploring. It’s an enriching stop that pairs perfectly with a lunch at nearby Franklin Park, just across the street.

Catch a Show at The Capitol Theatre
The Capitol Theatre is the cultural heartbeat of downtown Yakima. Originally built in 1920, this historic venue hosts everything from Broadway musicals and symphony performances to town hall meetings and educational lectures. If you are organizing a group outing to see a show, a charter bus rental removes the headache of downtown parking. Instead of your group members circling block after block to find street parking or paying for expensive garage slots, your driver can drop you off right in front of the marquee.
The theatre’s architecture alone is worth the visit, featuring ornate plasterwork and a stunning dome. For large groups attending evening performances, we can arrange a shuttle service that picks you up from your hotel or dinner reservation and brings you straight to the theater doors. After the final curtain call, your warm, comfortable bus will be waiting to take you to your next destination or back home, ensuring the night ends on a high note.

Taste the Hops at Bale Breaker Brewing Company
Did you know that the Yakima Valley produces over 75% of the hops grown in the United States? There is no better place to experience this agricultural heritage than at Bale Breaker Brewing Company. Located right in the middle of a commercial hop field (Field 41), this brewery offers a unique experience where you can drink beer just yards from where the ingredients were grown. It is an ideal stop for bachelor parties, 21st birthdays, or casual corporate mixers.
Because Bale Breaker is located a bit outside the city center, rideshares can sometimes be unreliable or subject to long wait times. A private party bus or minibus rental ensures your group has guaranteed transportation. Your driver handles the navigation through the country roads while you enjoy the fresh air on the lawn and sample their famous Topcutter IPA. We can help you build a "Hops and Brews" itinerary that hits Bale Breaker and several other local taprooms safely.
Bale Breaker Brewing Company 1801 Birchfield Rd, Yakima, WA 98901
Visit the Yakama Nation Cultural Center
Located just a short drive south in Toppenish, the Yakama Nation Cultural Center provides a profound look into the history and traditions of the Yakama people. The complex includes a museum, a library, and the Heritage Inn Restaurant, which serves traditional foods. This is an essential stop for any group wanting to understand the full history of the valley. A charter bus rental makes the 20-minute drive from downtown Yakima seamless, keeping your group connected and comfortable during the short journey.
The Cultural Center is beautifully designed to resemble the winter lodge of the Yakama people. Inside the museum, dioramas and exhibits tell the story of the tribe from the beginning of time to the present day. If you are planning a school field trip or a senior citizen outing, the Cultural Center offers ample bus parking and easy accessibility. Combine this with a tour of the famous Toppenish Murals for a full day of culture and art.
Yakama Nation Cultural Center 100 Spiel-Yi-Loop, Toppenish, WA 98948
Hike the Cowiche Canyon Trail
For active groups who want to experience the rugged beauty of the shrub-steppe landscape, Cowiche Canyon offers spectacular hiking trails just minutes from the city. The trails wind through basalt cliffs and along a creek, offering vibrant wildflowers in the spring and stark, beautiful contrasts in the winter. Organizing a hiking group can be logistically tough when trying to coordinate multiple cars at a trailhead with limited parking. A minibus rental solves this instantly.
Your bus can drop your group off at the Uplands Trailhead or the Lower Canyon Trailhead and wait while you explore. Afterward, your group will appreciate the climate-controlled cabin of the bus—especially during the hot Yakima summers. It’s the perfect way for scout troops, corporate wellness retreats, or nature photography clubs to experience the outdoors without the hassle.
Cowiche Canyon Conservancy 12000 Summitview Rd, Yakima, WA 98908
Discover Trains at the Northern Pacific Railway Museum
Another gem located in Toppenish is the Northern Pacific Railway Museum. Housed in the historic 1911 Northern Pacific Railway depot, this museum is dedicated to preserving the history of the railroad in the Pacific Northwest. It is a fantastic destination for families, train enthusiasts, and school groups. Visitors can tour vintage cabooses, a steam engine, and the beautifully restored depot itself.
When you rent a charter bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Yakima, you can easily turn a trip to Toppenish into a multi-stop itinerary. Visit the Railway Museum in the morning, grab lunch, and head over to the Yakama Nation Cultural Center in the afternoon.
